Hart

My grandfather always wore a hat. I thought he was the fanciest man in the world. His silhouette shadowed a crooked stance with a tilted Stetson Bantam. It is this comfortable silhouette that I look for when designing hats. In this piece I have created that crown and brim silhouette in one fluid piece of crinoline, relying on its bias construction and the circular symmetry of the wired base to create that whimsical feel of wearing my grandfather's shadow.
